Rasha held back the pain in her throat as she choked on her food. The question was inappropriate to be uttered over the dinner table. Rasha's appetite was suddenly gone, as the man in front of her was making things worse instead of helping her gain an appetite in the midst of her first trimester nausea.
Making her depressed? Rasha had only been in the house for a few days (let's just say that), and now she was already considered a major burden in the brown-eyed man's life.
"Kevin, I hope you'll understand these words that I've said to you over a hundred times. I don't want this at all." Rasha argued, showing her displeasure in front of Kevin.
Kevin snorted sarcastically, laughing in a tone that was very uncomfortable for Rasha to hear. She wished she could get out of that house as soon as possible, after all Rasha was not a woman who worshipped wealth.
"Then why don't you go out there and tell my mom that you want to stop living here and stop interfering with my relationship with my girlfriend?" Kevin glared as he pointed his index finger at the door.
"I already did! How many times do I have to tell you?! It's as if your mom rejects everything I say, she's in denial about the facts between us."
Rasha took a deep breath and then continued speaking again. It must have been very hard for her to argue with a selfish and stubborn man like Kevin.
"Why don't you just explain to him---"
"I did it too, you sly woman! That old woman also denied my words! Aren't you her favorite daughter-in-law? She should have listened to you."
Rasha was silent, she rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes. She felt resigned and could no longer speak, if there was a panic room in the house it would be very useful for Rasha to scream dozens of times there.
"So?" Rasha spoke up again. "We've both tried. No one can change your mother's decision. What do you want? You want me out of here? Well, I'd like that too. But your mom will definitely scold us severely."
Kevin scrunched up his face, his sardonic look intensifying. Rasha was right and Kevin didn't like to admit it. He couldn't possibly argue with his mother's decision, she was so desperate. What would Angelina do? Go on a rampage and destroy Kevin's company shares? Probably much worse than that. He already knew how bad his mother was.
Rasha sighed, the rice on her plate was not eaten much, maybe 3/4 of the original portion was still left. She chose to put down the cutlery and left the table, to hell with Kevin, her mood was more important than that.
"That woman is getting annoying and dares to fight me. Whose house is she in now? How could she raise her voice in front of me. Tsk, it's all because of that old woman who always defends her." Kevin monologued in annoyance.
* * *
"Honey, why does your voice sound upset?"
"I was just arguing with that annoying woman," Kevin said.
Now Kevin is talking on his cell phone with Lucia. Kevin thought he'd be more relieved if he told his girlfriend his problems.
"That woman? You mean your mom?" Lucia sounded curious.
"Nope, hahaha. You're so funny, that's how you describe my mom in your mind. But you're not wrong, you're just not quite right. I had a fight with Rasha, she didn't give in and was selfish," Kevin said.
"Hm? Don't worry about it too much, she can't do anything without having anything." Lucia tried to calm her lover down. "I think your mom really loves that woman."
"Yeah, you're right. My mom even defends that woman more than I do, even though she's only been in this house for a short time. She's acting like someone who's lived here for decades," Kevin said irritably.
"I'm also upset to hear your story, I can't imagine that I'll be in the same house as her. No, I don't want to."
"Lucia, don't worry about it. My marriage with him won't last long. After she gives birth, I'll divorce her." Kevin sounded softened. "I don't want to spend my time with that woman who intends to drain my wealth either."
* * *
Lucia was silent, she felt insulted but there was no way she could show her feelings.
"You sound so tormented by that, it made me think of something," Lucia said.
"Thought of what?" Kevin's voice sounded curious.
"Why wait nine months when you can do it now?"
Kevin's eyebrows raised, he started trying to guess what Lucia was thinking. A few seconds later he gasped and glared, his eyes glancing to the side with sweat dripping from his temples.
"So---"
"Yeah, I'm sure you know what I'm thinking. Do you agree? Unless you want to wait until--"
"Of course I want to. Gosh, I just thought of doing that, why didn't I do that a long time ago?" Kevin smiled happily and leaned back in the chair.
"Do you have any ideas about that?"
"No, I just wanted to work out my plan," Kevin said.
"Want to use my plan? I've prepared it before." Lucia offered.
"Really? You've been thinking about this for a long time, why are you only telling me now?" Kevin sounded both pleased and surprised.
"Oh? I thought you wanted the child in your house, so I hesitated to propose this to you. I was afraid of making you angry," Lucia said.
"Angry? Why would I be angry with you? Don't you know the truth yet, or have you forgotten?"
Lucia smiled wryly. "Sorry Kevin, but I really don't know."
Lucia was deliberately provoking this conversation, she was just pretending not to know.
"Alright. Actually, the fetus that Rasha is carrying is not my child, it's her doing with another man. I'm so disappointed, I don't want to recognize that child as mine. Gosh, did you think all this time that I really got Rasha pregnant?"
Kevin's tone sounded a little disappointed, but Kevin was not angry with Lucia.
"Yeah, I thought that. I'm sorry, but I still love you. No matter what you do," Lucia said sweetly.
"Tsk, you can always make me melt. Well, you better tell me your plan soon."
"Mommy, where is that woman?"Angelina, who was sipping her tea, was surprised by Kevin's question. She glared at her only child with a questioning look."What do you mean?" Angelina asked, trying to make sure she understood."Of course I mean that woman, Rasha. Why are you in such a daze?" Kevin looked annoyed in response to his mother."You don't usually act like this. Why are you looking for Rasha? She's in the garden of the back mansion," Angelina said in a suspicious tone.Kevin looked flatly at his mother. "What's wrong with me asking where my wife is? You've always told me to stay close to her. But now you're surprised when I look for her.""Of course I'm surprised. But never mind, I'm too lazy to argue with you," Angelina said and went back to sipping her tea. "Don't you yell and scold her again, I'll keep an eye on you.""Suit yourself, I just want to see her," Kevin said as he walked away from Angelina.* * *"What are you doing, watching me here?" Rasha immediately asked th
"No need to worry about that, Mommy. I don't want you to worry about it, Kevin and I are fine," Rasha said with a shy smile."Huft, you're always like that. Hm, Mommy wants to know what Kevin told you. He seemed to be in a hurry," Angelina asked again."Oh, we were just talking about Kevin's desire for a vacation. I didn't really understand, because he explained in a hurry. I thought Mommy had already gotten an explanation from Kevin about it," Rasha said, surprised."We both misunderstood. It's okay, in fact I thought you already knew about this. He doesn't usually invite other people to have fun with him. He's a very loner type of person." Angelina replied. "He really didn't scold you, did he? I don't like it when he makes you depressed during your pregnancy.""No, we just had a little argument. But it wasn't an argument worth thinking about." Rasha replied casually, she really didn't care much about Kevin."But you look sad and uncomfortable. If he does something bad just tell me,
From a distance, someone was peeping at Kevin. Their gaze was flat, and the figure silently looked at Kevin, who was still busy making a phone call.Kevin, who had just ended his phone call, turned around and almost fell down in surprise at the figure looking at him."How long have you been there?" he asked."Sorry, sir. I've been here since earlier. I didn't mean to interfere with or disturb you. I wanted to leave this to you, but I didn't dare interrupt your conversation with your companion," the man with tattoos on his fingers replied, handing over a fairly thick file. There must be something important in there."What's this?" Kevin frowned, narrowing his eyes."It's a document sent from the company we'll be targeting as partners. But I haven't opened it yet; I don't feel I have the right to go ahead of you," the man explained."I see. Thank you, Yoel. I thought you were someone else, hence my surprise when I saw you. You can go now," Kevin told his assistant, signaling him to leav
Here Kevin is now, behind his wife and mother who are walking happily in the middle of the garden where the flowers are blooming. Kevin wasn't fascinated by the flowers; for him, the bills were more fragrant than that."Fix that expression; all the flowers here might wilt because of your face," Angelina said.Rasha had gone a little further, an opportunity for Angelina to hit her son with a cynical rebuke. She had been quite disturbed by her son's sour look, but Angelina held back so that her favorite daughter-in-law would not be disturbed by the man's actions."So, do I have to smile every second like an idiot? I'll smile for certain things," Kevin said fiercely. "My smile is expensive."Angelina rolled her eyes lazily, always narcissistic in addition to being arrogant and haughty. Angelina didn't know how to reprimand her son anymore. Her son's strengths were only in making money and being handsome; other than that, everything was just a negative trait."Whatever you want, but you h
"What are we planning to do tomorrow?" Angelina opened the conversation at that moment.Now Angelina, Kevin, and Rasha are sitting at the dining table. At first the atmosphere was just quiet without any conversation. Kevin is also not interested in discussing anything, his mind drifts somewhere. "Hm, I'm not sure either. I don't know what destination is here. Does Mommy have any suggestions?" Rasha replied in deference to her mother-in-law's argument. "Ah, but I was thinking that you have a desire or a destination that you want to go to here. I'm just as confused as you are right now. The atmosphere here is so pleasant that I can't choose which place we should visit first," Angelina said enthusiastically."Why don't you try the valley behind the mansion?" Kevin suddenly said, which surprised Angelina and Rasha. But they were both more curious about the man's suggestion, how interesting was that place for Kevin to suggest it first? And Kevin is not the kind of person who cares about
"Wh-What are you doing on---"Kevin didn't say much, instead he brought his face closer to hers. Their lips were almost together, and the only thing Rasha did this time was close her eyes while controlling her increasingly erratic heartbeat."Haha, how embarrassing."Rasha opened her eyes when she heard her husband's laughter. Instead of a sensual hot scene happening, she was looking at her husband standing with a mocking gaze. Her husband's hands folded neatly in front of his chest, his eyes only watched Rasha who was closed. The smile on his lips did not look pleasant, more of a smirk than a smile. "Why--""What's the why? What were you expecting?"That's right, what was Rasha expecting now? Why should she wait? No, she is waiting? But she haven't afraid, yet she seemed to hope that it would happen. It so really embarrassing. "What do you mean, I'm not expecting anything, I'm just being---""Hm?""Can you stop cutting off other people's words?""Your speech is so slow that I can't
"This is a lie."Rasha was startled, suddenly a voice said rudely that all of Rasha's explanations were lies. Rasha's eyebrows arched, as did Angelina's, who tilted her head and gave Kevin a judgmental look. "You'd better put your clothes on properly," Angelina said, pointing with her chin at the shirt on Kevin's body. "What?" Kevin asked in surprise and then looked down. "Oh my."Sure enough, the buttons Kevin had put on were not in place. Sometimes Kevin could be so careless about unimportant things, but at least he didn't mess up his work. "What do you mean by that?" Angelina approached Kevin, clearly showing her interest in her son's rebuttal."Oh." Kevin looked at Angelina briefly, then returned his attention to the buttons. "About our activities, of course."Our activities. The words sent Angelina's excitement into overdrive. The vulgar things related to the domestic life of her son and daughter-in-law became an interesting highlight in Angelina's life. No one know why this
"What's there to talk about when I'm relaxing?" Kevin replied, tossing his golf club carelessly."The woman is coming."Kevin's assistant's reply made him blink a few times, his mind racing with confusion and wonder."Who? What's her business?"From the way the assistant answered, it was certain that the uninvited guest was someone Kevin already knew or was familiar with, and vice versa. But who?Was it Lucia? But Lucia wasn't stupid enough to come and embarrass her own face for no good reason. Surely what Kevin would have seen if that had happened was a big fight between his mother and her boyfriend. No, this was ridiculous."You'd better see her now, sir. I will explain to Madam Angelina and Mrs. Rasha."Very understanding, if Kevin's subordinate had said that, Kevin would not have wasted his time."All right, I'll leave it up to you. By the way, where is that woman now? She's not planning on coming here, is she?" Kevin asked reassuringly and started to look hurried.From a distance
"We're finally here, my back hurt so much on the way up." Angelina got out of the car that took her and her family to the top of the mountain. Before she had time to enjoy the view, her waist was already complaining of age-related aches and pains.Rasha just smiled and chuckled softly, Angelina was known as an independent and powerful woman. Who would have thought that in front of her daughter-in-law and children she often complained about things like back pain and body aches, like old women in general. It wasn't because of her beautiful face and fit-looking body that people thought Angelina was always fresh and fit. They found that there were many types of trees that were quite rare to find, the shady mountains were very clearly visible with a green color that was very rarely seen when in urban areas.Apparently, there were several rides prepared exclusively for those who vacationed there. And it was certain that the people who vacationed there were Kevin and his family, because th
The valleys, parks and golf courses were explored or surrounded by the family of three and they had a great time there during their 2-day vacation. And now they were in the mountains around the location of Kevin's villa. This is indeed in accordance with the flow of plans prepared by Kevin, because two days ago he already had a rather a plan prepared to aborted the fetus in Rasha's womb.And for two days Kevin showed a pretty good attitude or not quite disturbing for Angelina and Rasha. Until during that time even Angelina began to melt and began to think with Rasha that the figure of Kevin who was with them now was Kevin who was ready to change his attitude into a better figure. Now they were on their way to the mountaintop to relax and enjoy the scenery there, as they had agreed a few days ago. Kevin had also prepared some people to greet them there when they arrived at the top of the mountain, although his plan was to harm his wife, but that did not mean that he would make things
"I didn't expect him to be so considerate behind your back," Angelina said as she looked at the object in Rasha's hand."I don't know, I don't know, Kevin is unpredictable." Rasha shrugged, she didn't know what to make of Kevin either. "Hm? You don't know? How is his everyday life with you? Does he not care about you at all?" Angelina looked at Rasha curiously.Rasha was silent, her body stiffened and she realized that she had misspoken. No, it was more of a slip of the tongue."That's not what I meant, he's just an unpredictable person. His demeanor is changeable, but I admit it's very difficult for him to be honest with his heart," Rasha said. "Oh come on Mom, don't be so mean. Kevin's not as bad as you think. Isn't he your son?"Angelina shook her head and let out a frustrated sigh, she sighed roughly in annoyance. "Just because he's my son, I know his personality so well. He's a bad man, I regret that he had to be born from the genes of a bad man. His personality is very similar
Rasha glanced briefly at her mother-in-law's knee and smiled stiffly. "Ah, all right then. But is it really okay to leave Kevin alone?""You don't have to ask, in fact he's more than happy to be left alone," Angelina said with a soft laugh.Angelina and Rasha saw that the villa was clean and quiet with no disturbances or damage. They were even puzzled by the problem that had caused Kevin's helpers to run to the villa. It looked very hectic, but after checking, there was nothing serious going on."Are you sure there was a problem here?" Angelina asked without turning her body towards Rasha, who was still busy looking at the spotlessly clean villa room."I don't know, Mommy. Isn't it nice? I mean, this quiet atmosphere?" Rasha replied, reminding her mother-in-law to be thankful for the quiet."You're right. I was worrying too much about something that shouldn't have happened. Well, have fun and rest. It's been a long time since I had a peaceful day without any problems," Angelina replie
"What's going on? Why can't we go there? What happened at the villa?" Angelina looked suspiciously at the tall man in front of her."I'm sorry ma'am, but I can't allow you to go near the villa," the man said."Who told you to forbid me? What's the reason I'm not allowed there?" Angelina insisted and pushed the man's body out of her way."You can't," said the assistant. He restrained Angelina's body by blocking it. "This situation is quite dangerous for you, there is a bit of chaos in the villa. Until everything is cleared up you can't go there for fear of endangering you.""What? Then what about Kevin? Where is he now?" "He'll be here soon." The man immediately moved to block Angelina's view of the villa."What's going on? Why don't you explain to me?!" Angelina began to get angry, she rebelled and tried to walk towards the villa.Rasha was also confused about what to do, she didn't see this situation as a good situation. There must be something going on and it would be bad."Mom, ca
